art fein

...is an l.a. rockaroll guy i met at sxsw a coupla yrs ago when i was researching a story on the legendary stardust cowboy. art looks a little like joe pesci. he has a tv show and online column (_not_ a blog, sez art) called art fein's poker party that's one of my reg'lar monthly reads. in this month's edition, henry rollins recalls his first rekkids / shows, and elsewhere art writes, "Today’s pop records are cut to conform to contemporary FM and CD standards, with exacting and precise rules so they all sound the same. The good news is that, history tells us, within a couple of years THE MUSIC ITSELF will roar up and leave the standards behind." we live in hope.
